The level of professional coaching is fantastic the environment is always friendly and welcoming. I now train at least 5 times a week at SCUK and it has quite honestly been life changing for me.

I feel as supported and respected now after two years, as I did on my first day. Every single success is celebrated. Everybody is an athlete. If you’ve tipped up and you’re trying your best, then that’s all that can be asked of you. Your first press up is as important as someone’s podium finish in a competition.

It’s this sense of mutual respect among members that’s the lifeblood of the ‘box’ and it’s what keeps me up each evening, waiting in anticipation for what the next day’s ‘WoD’ might be! There are no mirrors, no machines and no intimidation, and after my first session, there was no looking back.

What a revelation SCUK was! The training programme is well thought out, the classes are constantly varied and are extremely well run. In the space of a few months I dropped nearly 10 kilos in weight; and while I still have some way to go towards reaching my own personal goals, I am fitter and stronger than I have ever been.

It would be difficult for me to put a finger on the thing that I like most about training at SCUK! The coach team is superb; the class environments get the best out of you; and the community as whole is fantastic…I have made both some significant gains and some great friends! I would highly recommend CrossFit – and particularly SCUK – to anyone!

For me, I initially only wanted to gain a new level of fitness from Crossfit but over the 2+ years I have been at SCUK I have made some exceptional friends and enjoyed sharing some special moments and some big achievements, in house and national competitions. The feeling of a community is not a myth, James has developed a ‘Leave your ego at the door & only step inside to push your limits’ type ethos that constantly surrounds the perimeters of the box you can literally taste it! The CrossFit kids has been a fantastic step forward in the development of Crossfit locally and seeing people embrace new challenges around me is incredibly inspiring, it keeps my healthy obsession burning brightly to always comeback for more.

You experience Constant disappointments & euphoric successes you never thought possible, it’s just how it is. Some days you will walk away hating the fact you missed that last rep, yet you’ll always come back for more tomorrow. Some days you’ll never want to leave because of what you are achieving, again, it’s just how it is. James & what he has created is something incredibly unique to summarise; it’s a safe, encapsulating, special place that will have you hooked. Safety and standards is paramount to making this work, progressions and creating a personal fitness journey is where it’s at. There are no mirrors, only doors. You enter through a door, you push yourself to your absolute limits on movements you’ve only heard horror stories about (but hey, they’re not that bad), then you go home and think, I can’t wait to go in tomorrow!

No matter what your ability, fitness goal, desire, plans are, SCUK is an absolute must! My only regret, I wish I found it sooner!

SCUK is an awesome community – it’s great seeing people master movements that have been elusive, it’s lovely to see whole families training together, it’s really encouraging to have people offer their advice, guidance and support. People want you to succeed and see you achieve your best. It’s amazing to see so many strong female role models too.

I have more injuries from falling off my bike or falling over out running, I’ve not seen any signs of a cult – just a really strong community, the people here are fit and strong, healthy and positive. Everyone is trying to improve and get better, whatever level they’re at – with training based around all aspects of fitness, it’s training for life. It’s a great place to be, an ace community to be part of and basically, an awesome place to train!

It has opened my eyes to enjoying getting fit, meeting incredible people from all walks of life and having so much fun!

Since joining I have decrease my body fat percentage by 13% and learned so much about how fitness works.

SCUK = People and PB’s!!
